Nice! I hadn’t heard of RiverFirst (which handled Hall’s Island) before, but I like it:
Before Minneapolis was the “city of lakes,” we were a river city.
Now open in 2021, two new RiverFirst projects – Water Works at Mill Ruins Park and the Overlook at 26th Ave N. RiverFirst is a vision for transforming 11 miles of once-industrial Mississippi Riverfront as it flows through the heart of Minneapolis into a welcoming place for all people through improved habitat and miles of new interconnected parks and trails.
In some southern Minnesota counties, hogs outnumber humans by a factor of 40 to 1.

Here’s some more info on I-94:

I like the complete reworking as surface-level boulevard option the most. There’s nice things about other options like widening bridges into land bridges, but I think that’s kind of papering over the problem.
The payroll fraud bit reminds me of this chart:
Which looks like it comes from here:

I could help mod/post. modlog doesn’t make it look like too hard of a job
Speaking of cow tools, next time it comes up in this community, he wrote a bit about the comic and the public response it got that I’ll have to post.
Some background on this comic:

It’s pop science, but The Tipping Point explores this sort of thing.
I think we’re also going to see this happen with EVs and gas stations. Gas stations will start closing as EVs become more popular, making it harder to own a gas car, making more gas stations shut down, etc. Gas stations also mostly won’t be converted into charging spots, IMO the most common thing is that places like Target or shopping malls will have chargers, and you’ll charge either at home, or when you’re busy shopping.
What do they think “running the passport number” will do? I’ve seen that in several of these posts. I can’t imagine whoever they got their paper from will have been able to create a number that exists in any system that a cop uses during a traffic stop.
Totally agree. In this case, it’s plain NIMBYism, but we should make sure to avoid the classic mistake of ignoring any downsides of the new and shiny thing.
The two UCC references they list:

“Signed” includes using any symbol executed or adopted with present intention to adopt or accept a writing.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-304
§ 1-304. Obligation of Good Faith.
Every contract or duty within the Uniform Commercial Code imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance and enforcement.
From what I can understand of this mess, they’re trying to buy a car, or otherwise enter a contract of some sort with Volkswagen. I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure sections like § 1-304
only mean after you enter a contract, you’re obligated to uphold it. If someone doesn’t want to enter into a contract with you because they don’t like the way you write your signature, it’s their right to tell you to get bent.
Environmental destruction isn’t limited to any particular ideology
Another good one is Glasgow -> Glaswegians. Here’s a pretty interesting article about a few odd demonyms:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/demonyms-linguistics-nicknames
The demonym “Glaswegian” comes, linguists think, as an analogy of the Irish city of Galway. “Glasgow” and “Galway” are two fairly similar looking words. And Galway has long had its own analogy with another similar-looking word: Norway. Galway’s demonym is “Galwegian,” as an analogy of “Norwegian.” So “Glaswegian” is a sort of a photocopy-of-a-photocopy of Norwegian. Not something anyone could ever guess!
Is there a joke here beyond “farmer is improbably in a business meeting”? I couldn’t find a meaning for sodbuster that added anything, nor did I see any common 90’s business slang about farming.
What is !steamdeck@lemmy.world doing over with the red dots 🤔
It doesn’t matter if everyone else is a p-zombie. If you’re a dick to them, they might still cut you, and pain is real. So it’s worth considering their POV.
